Here is an adorable tea cup set by Debbie Marcinkiewicz featuring many of our Melissa Frances embellishments, including two of our newest fabric roses. They are so soft and pretty and look fabulous in these paper teacups. Thanks for sharing Debbie.

This lovely card was sent to us from Kim Duran who shared how inspired she'd been by our 5th Avenue Designer paper. Thank you Kim. We love this card and are always so happy to hear that our designs are inspiring the paper crafters we design them for.

(If you have a project featuring Melissa Frances products, we would love to see it. Please email it to us at blog@heartandhome.com. We can't wait to see what you are making!)

Sabrina from Singapore sent us this delightful card featuring our 5th Avenue Collection with our popular Attic Treasures Mini Flashcards. Our flashcard set contains 16 cards. 8 Large ones at 1.25" high by 2.5" wide, and 8 Small ones at 1.77" high by 3.5" wide.

We've been loving the combination of Melissa Frances goodies with paper doilies that we've been seeing from designers around the web. This excellent sample comes from Melissa Frances design team member Evgenia Petzer and combines doilies with our 5th Avenue Collection andstickers from one of our discontinued Ephemera Sticker collections. Although those stickers are no longer available, there are still 5 other ephemera skus available. See them here.

(Supply List: Patterned Paper: Ebony (PA362), Geraldine (PA369), Octavia (PA368), Pearl (PA371), Antonia (PA364) • Packaging from Melissa Frances pearls or rhinestones (either one will work as both have the same Victorian girl on them) • Other, non-Melissa Frances supplies: Aqua and Cream ribbon, Pink rose, die cuts, rubber stamps and eyelets)As soon as we saw this card from Michelle La Grue we knew that you would love it as much as we did. We love this shutter style of card, and Michelle's example makes us want to make one of these ASAP! And check out how Michelle used the image of the Victorian girl from the newly redesigned packaging from our rhinestones and pearls. Lovely idea Michelle. In her email, Michelle shared that she made this special card as a keepsake gift for her Aunt's 85th Birthday. We're sure that this will be a treasured gift. Thanks for sharing this card with us Michelle!(click on the images to see an enlarged version of the card)

We are so happy to share this layout with you today. Created by Melissa Frances design team member Emeline Seet, this layout with it's over-the-top shabby style, is pure perfection. We especially love the way Emeline used our satin flowers as accents in the middle of the page. Our flowers were hot commodities at CHA and sold out very quickly, so if you see them in your local scrapbooking store, snap them up, as they will not be back in the Melissa Frances warehouse for a few weeks.

Next weekend the Melissa Frances team will be attending the Great American Scrapbook Convention in Chantilly, VA on June 24-25. Be sure to look for our booth, filled with our fabulous products. And don't forget to check out the workshops we are offering at the convention - they are pretty awesome.

This pretty card was sent to us from Mona Pendleton and features a few of our oldies but goodies. With the exception of the collaged paper background on the card, the rest of the papers are from our retired Thankful Collection.
